Tokyo, Japan: University and Books

Agricultural Museum, Tokyo University

I visited the university in 2014, as it is a quiet place and good place for autumn viewing. 

South Korea: Seoul: Ewha University

South Korea: Campus Tour: Universities to Visit

Due to increasing appearance of schools and universities in dramas and series, although not suggested by some as this invades privacy of the students, I was able to visit few of these schools in South Korea.  Let me share with you those you may want to also see in your next trip.

Yonsei University is a private research university located in Seoul. (Wiki)

Address: 50 Yonsei-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Motto: The truth will set you free. (John 8:32)

South Korea: Incheon: Inha University

Inha University is an off track destination and is about 90 minute subway train ride away from central Seoul.  But since I'm fascinated with the lake view as seen in Bok-joo, thus I have decided to visit the place on my way back to the airport.  

South Korea: Sungkyunkwan University's Autumn Colors

Hidden from the main road of the school, there is this perfect spot to catch autumn changing colors in Sungkyunkwan University.

South Korea: Seoul: Sights to See in Konkuk University

University Museum
More than what we see in Goblin, the building behind Kim Shin is Konkuk University Museum.

Seoul: Dongdaemun: Kyung Hee University

I never heard of this place, until I was looking for where to hunt autumn leaves in Seoul from instagram.  

Then I got interested as the place has Gothic architecture.  Bad that we were not allowed to go further in the campus, but given sometime go ahead and go further the castle like building which is the Hall of Peace.

2016 July: South Korea: Daegu: Dodong-Seowon Confucian Academy, Biseul Mountain

Have some rest from the bustling transfers across the trains and buses and join an English theme tour by Daegu City Tours.  Tours available from the flyers are not confirmed unless they receive enough participants request for that day.  In my case, the Yangnyeongsi tourism office was very helpful in this one, they were able to connect me to the tour office and get my contact details for them to confirm if te tour will pursue the next day.  In the afternoon, I was able to received a call and they confirmed Biseul over Pangolsan, which I believe is also due to weather forecast. 

So to continue, there were 2 pick-up points from Daegu, they will confirm which one is better for you to go.  You gotta pay 5000krw to the guide upon boarding.  We have changed out itinerary a bit as agreed to all the passengers, so we skipped Daegu National Science Museum.  Instead bought our packed lunch at the Express Stop, drop by Dodong-Seowon Confucian Academy, then took the electric car to head to the top of Biseul Mountain or Biseulsan (which is normally excluded in a regular themed tours).  The driver said that taking the electric car will cost too much time and we will not make it, thus we have decided to skip the science museum.
